Injecting quirks...

For some reason I am so fascinated by the techniques and little differences in others and how they inject. I love watching others do their thing. Sick and weird, I acccept that lol.

I always wonder about little things like do you rinse/clean your syringe/needle right after your shot? Or do you wait until you're setting up your next shot to do it.

Or what do you use for a tourniquette?

Do you carry your stuff in a cute little make up bag in your purse? Or leave it at home.


Tell me your wayzzzzzzzzzz
 
Don't rinse and reuse needles. Dispose in a red bin or some container like a Pringle tube then use fresh needles and only fresh needles.
 
This is more suitable for DC, so I'm going to move it there, but I totally get you man. I love nice teaspoons, little kits. Me and my homeboys back in the bay were always finding cool little 'kit' boxes, when I was tweaked out I got really into that kind of thing. I even once had a cardboard box that me and my girl used as a table and I had an outline of a crack pipe, a syringe, a cooker, and a pizo, placed in the most aesthetically pleasing manner so I knew where to place my gear lol.

Another thing that all junkies including myself seem incapable of not doing is squirting their blood all over there walls. I also enjoy all the different lingo for registering, 'flash', 'flag' etc.. Old school dope talk is real funny.
 
Well I use a shoelace as a tourniquet and although j don't reuse needles offer anymore I used to so I always rinse it right after my shot unless I'm too high which is pretty about half the time.

I keep my rigs, a spoon, q-tips, and some cotton balls in a long sock. The q-tips and cotton balls are in a Baggie. I rarely take it out of the house with me and if I do I lock it in the glove box. I was the spoon every time I take it out of the sock to use it as well as my handed and injection site.

^^zneg- i really don't get why it's so enjoyable to spray on the walls but I am trying to stop. I had a little scare not long ago with one if the household animals possibly licking at it. Also when I'm pushing out any air bubbles I make sure to have something laid out to do it over Incase any drips out. I found way to many little resolidified drops of ice on my bathroom counter and bedroom floor which is wood. Not cool.

Ew wtf?!

When I IVed I wouldn't use a tourniquet. There was no need to, I could usually hit myself in the crook of my arm every single time, most times on the first try. I'd give people my belt if I was around another slammer and they needed a tourniquet, though.

I never re-used syringes. There was no need to, I'd buy boxes of 100+ count syringes for less than 10 dollars. An Altoids tin containing a lighter, q-tips, dope & a thin metal teaspoon (w/ handle wrapped in fishing twine & electrical tape to prevent heat from being conducted to the user's hand) was where I kept various IV related items, along with a bottle of isopropyl alcohol. IV use is inherently dangerous/risky but the way I did it minimized the risks...I'd never shoot anywhere besides my home (well, ALMOST never, hehe). Dirty syringes would get capped and put in a grocery store bag along with other drug related items, and that would be disposed of separately from my ordinary residential waste (usually in a randomly chosen public dumpster)

Lol that's not what I was talking about. Not sure about Zneg, but I was talking about after my shot I would draw up a little water to clear out the little bit of blood that was almost almost always still occupying my rig.

I got in the habit of it because when I was a novice I would re use them because I got denied by the bitch pharmacist my first time trying to buy them and it made me gun shy for while. A dealer I sometimes went through sold individually packaged ones for a buck a piece so I just got them from him and every time I saw him which was about once a week which. Sometimes I didn't buy enough. I hadn't settled into a routine at this point.
 
Although I know it's bad practice and risky, no, I don't wash them out usually after my shot, mainly cause I try to stay in the habit of getting and using fresh ones each time, but occasionally I just don't have any new ones and I want my shot now so I clean out and use an old one. Haven't had anything bad happen yet but I know it's just a matter of the odds and reusing even just your own needles is bad odds and playing with fire. Despite knowing all that ill admit I still do it.

I don't usually use a tourniquet because most times I'm hitting one of half a dozen veins I have down enough times to easily find.
However, if I'm trying to find a new unused vein, or on the exceptionally rare instance that I haven't used for a while and don't have any easily visible track marks anymore. Then I use a tourniquet. Like most female IV users my veins aren't very visible and can usually only be found by feel. Unlike guy veins which often are easily seen and felt without even pressing down on the skin.

Also might use one if I'm having more trouble than usual (can usually hit one fine first go). If I have nothing else I use my belt otherwise I use a regular latex one that you can easily tie in such a way to quickly release.

I always make sure to have the needle bevel the right way around (got a friend that pays no attention to this at all, ive tried to tell him, but he's so in the habit of it combined with OCD that he doesn't change, eventually gave up mentioning it)

Use qtip cotton to filter, that's about it. Also I try not to reuse veins very often but sometimes do that too.
 
I sometimes wash my needles after I do my shot but sometimes I'll be too high and I forget. But if I'm gonna reuse the needle obviously I wash it before I use it again. I know this is kind of gross and unsanitary but needles aren't readily available here. and I use a medical tourniquet (the blue strappy thing) and keep my gear in a little pocket in my purse until I can find another little container to put everything in nicely. I use a Q-tip filter, too

Yeah that's true, I've only ever shot up two people other than myself, both women, and it was challenging. One girl only had two usable veins, one (barely visible) vein in the crook of her arm & one vein in her freakin' hand. I don't IV other people anymore, I get too paranoid about hurting the other person or missing the shot.
 
That's what I do I wash the rig right after I shoot up and pull out the rig . I use my jacket every time the long sleeve I don't like a thin wrap around my arm like shoelace I need a thicker wrapping . I always wash it twice and hide my kit and lay down to nod sometimes I pass out and wake up with the rig in my hand still at 4 am lol . I re use cause it's not always we have the chance to get fresh rigs and also hide them
